Emma, a now Golden Globe nominee, recently shared a secret about her appearance on Saturday Night Live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

“I gave [the cast] goldfish, to say thank you…right at the end credits, when you clap, we’re standing up on the stage and Abby Elliott, who is amazing, whispers in my ear, ‘Hey, good job! My goldfish died,'” Emma recalled to Jay (via Just Jared). “I was, like, euggghhh – I’d given it to them right before the show and I’m pretty sure that most of their goldfish were dead by the end of the show.”
